What is the main cause of harmonic distortion?
Harmonic distortion in amplifiers is mainly caused by the nonlinearities of the active elements (transistors).
Important points: Harmonic distortion is the distortion in output waveform due to the generation of harmonics.
What are the causes and effects of harmonics?
Harmonics – frequency effects caused either by the power supply or by equipment operating within the system.
Unbalance – the effect of voltage or current variations on each of the electrical phases.
Flicker – effects caused by repetitive switching of electrical loads such as arc furnaces or other processes.
In an electric power system, a harmonic of a voltage or current waveform is a sinusoidal wave whose frequency is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency.
Harmonic frequencies are produced by the action of non-linear loads such as rectifiers, discharge lighting, or saturated electric machines.

What causes harmonics in signals?

Harmonics flow into the electrical system because of nonlinear electronic switching devices, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), computer power supplies and energy-efficient lighting.

In general, there are three reasons why harmonics might be observed in a power system:

Nonlinear harmonic generation due to diodes and FETs in a power system.
Switching action with PWM or PFM pulse trains.
Harmonics are already present on the input of the power system because they are being generated somewhere else.
